The article of footwear, particularly a jogger-type or like shoe has at least part of its upper made of a composite material comprising a plurality of discrete areas (11), e.g. dots 11, of plastics material on one surface of the fabric layer, and a translucent coating 12 of foamed plastics material applied over the discrete areas and the one surface of the fabric layer. The fabric layer 10 may be made of woven nylon, polyester, cotton, viscose alone or in combination with spun staple or continuous filament. The dots 11 may be alkyd resin with solids and display a pattern to give a more robust impression. The foamed coating 12 of a mixture of acrylic and polyurethane emulsions may be spread by a knife coater to a thickness not greater than 0.05 mm and a density of about 13 g/m<2> and then guide dried by hot air. The arrangement gives higher seam strength and is permeable. <IMAGE> |
